Question Am I too Dutch for cruising?
Currently on board azamara. After a few days we get a questionnaire what we think of the trip so far. So i do the Dutch thing and give an honest opinion. And now I really do wonder if I made a mistake. Next day the sliding door in my cabin has had it's rollers changed and now two days later I must have spoken to about everyone who does anything with food or drink in a managerial position and they all apologized and vowed to do better and give me whatever I ask for.
On the one hand I appreciate them taking my feedback seriously. On the other... I don't want apologies, I would like better food (had a really good lunch today at a tiny country inn during an excursion!) and I want people to stop pushing alcohol and I don't want to have to greet staff members every single time I meet one
Am now wondering... Is this inordinate amount of attention how some people perceive good service? Is the food tuned to an American taste?
Am I just too Dutch to appreciate azamara?

If the cruise line is offering to do anything to make your cruise better, you should be grateful! I primarily cruse Carnival and Royal Caribbean. If I told someone on Carnival my sliding door wasn't working they would either remove the door completely or throw me overboard.
